By far the best moving crew we’ve ever used. I hope we never move again, but if we do, Well Known will be our first call.
I had an easy time submitting my information to obtain a quote. I received a quote and decided to move forward by SIGNING the estimate. The next morning, I was told my estimate had been calculated incorrectly. I given a new estimate, but Nataly couldn’t guarantee the date. Frustrated, I was willing to accept the new estimate and offered a second date. Then, I waited about an hour before I finally called to get clarity. I was told that I would receive a call back. I waited and waited. Then I saw that the webpage with my estimate had updated to a significantly higher number—a 3RD estimate. I called back. I was told I needed to speak to Nataly and that she would call me back immediately. She did, but she could only apologize at how she had completely messed up my estimate and her supervisor said this and that—a completely feckless response. Needless to say, we will not be booking this company for our move.
Moved our daughter from NJ to Philadelphia. picked them based on reviews and they did not disappoint. Communication was great several reminders sent prior to move. Adam & Alex arrived on time they handled my daughter’s belongings with great care as they loaded items on the truck. The transition went very smoothly. The price was just right for the amount of time to move items. They were very friendly and polite. I would highly recommend!
Regret using them
Alexandr and his crew did an amazing job! They wrapped all the furniture, they were extremely quick and very organized. They disassembled and reassembled big pieces (sofa and dining room table) and assembled a brand new bed frame as well as new barstools. I am thrilled with how easy they made the moving process for me. I highly recommend them!
Ismail and his partner were amazing Ismail and his partner were amazing. They worked very hard, communicated very well and went above and beyond to make moving as care free as possible. I would strongly recommend.
